In September 2024, when Jax appeared on the “Artist Friendly” podcast hosted by Good Charlotte leader singer Joel Madden, who happens to be “American Idol” judge Lionel Richie’s son-in-law and performed on May 18 season finale, she was nervous to share that she and her husband had decided to name their first child after the band.
“We have always said, since we started dating and knew we were gonna end up together, we’d name our daughter after Good Charlotte and name her Charlotte Good,” she told Madden.
“Really?” he replied, and she beamed, “Charlotte Good Gregg, yeah.”
After she noted that their daughter would likely be called Charlie Good and that they’d already filmed video messages for her, Madden said, “That is so sweet!”
